All of the Coen brothers movies are cult classics of a sort. Raising Arizona is an earlier one of theirs that is definitely a cult classic.

[@maplenutsreact]

Ooooh that's good to know!

[@heyheyjk-la]

Yeah, there are at so many other Coen brothers movies that they should watch (if they haven't already). "No Country for Old Men" is my favorite film ever; then there's "Fargo" (also with Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare who played the main nihilist); definitely "Raising Arizona" (John Goodman's first appearance out of at least 5 of their films and maybe my favorite Nicolas Cage performance); "True Grit" again with Jeff Bridges and also Matt Damon; "Barton Fink", which is also a cult classic (I think) and co-stars John Turturro (Jesus in this film) and John Goodman ... they're just amazing writers, directors, and editors (they also edit most of their films under a pseudonym).

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man." Fun Fact: With the exception of The Dude (Jeff Bridges) helping Maude (Julianne Moore) bowl in a fantasy, The Dude is never actually seen bowling once. The Real Dude Fact: A lot of the Dude's clothes in the movie were Jeff Bridges's own clothes, including his Jellies sandals, which he reportedly still owns and uses to this very day. Big Paraquat Fact: In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, John Goodman stated that The Dude (Jeff Bridges) referring to The Big Lebowski (David Hiddleston) as a "human paraquat" was one of the only improvised lines to make it into the final film. Virtually every other line was scripted.

[@VictorLugosi]

Fun fact, reposting things you saw on other videos is gay.

[@Harv72b]

@@VictorLugosi Fun fact: most of the world realized "gay" wasn't an insult 30 years ago.

I'm really surprised more of that film wasn't improvised!

[@TriarchVisgroup]

@@Harv72b Not quite.

[@TriarchVisgroup]

@@maplenutsreact More shocking is that, not only is it not improvised, but Jeff Bridges has sad interviews the scripting was down to the "um..." and "uhh..." So as chill and conversational as it sounds, it's actually very heavily scripted.

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

The kidnapper who got the bowling ball to the gut, is played by Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the girlfriend who gave up the toe is another famous musician, Aimee Mann.

[@theaikidoka]

Never really been a Peppers fan (beyond some of their classic hits that EVERYBODY has heard) but Aimee is great, and very funny in interviews.

[@heyheyjk-la]

@@theaikidoka - The RHCP were great before the radio hits started. Never really listened to them after that. Love Aimee so much. At a concert yesterday I yelled out a request and she took a minute to relearn/remember it and played it. Her husband, Michael Penn (brother of Sean) is one of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters, as well.

[@heyheyjk-la]

Flea also has a small part in Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver" which is just one of Edgar's films they should watch (which includes all of them). Edgar and the Coens are two of the more "modern" directors I absolutely love. Oh, and while he's achieved huge success with 4 of the best sci-fi films of all time, Canadian auteur Denis Villenueve's earlier film, "Prisoners" is one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and my definitely favorite Hugh Jackman performance (sorry, Wolverine). Not sure if it's a cult classic but dear god it's great.

[@eschiedler]

The Big Lebowski is a cult classic because it cratered at the box office. It's humor just didn't fit the Zeitgeist. However, it was the perfect movie for rental store clerks and potheads to watch over and over and over and thus a cult classic was born.

[@chrissiegle1065]

Raising Arizona is a cult classic, with Nicolas Cage... Great movie. This was a great reaction. Thank you. 😊

'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension' is my #1 underground cult classic. Forty years on, and multiple viewings, I'm still perplexed by this film, but I love it all the same.

[@Dylan_Platt]

Oh my goodness, yes. I'm really surprised reactors still largely haven't found it, it's so wild that it would be perfect for somebody who has no idea what they're in for.

[@GairBear49]

@@Dylan_Platt I agree, I'm amazed that more reactors have not discovered Buckaroo Banzai. Reel Reviews With Jen, a Canadian no less, is the only reaction I have seen. It came out in 1984 and is an Action Adventure SciFi Comedy. I don't think the world was ready for something like this back then maybe not now either. Remember " No matter where you go, there you are!"

No matter where you go, there you are. My all time favorite movie. I can't even estimate how many times I've seen it. Big Trouble In Little China is by the same author, and it's rumoured that it was originally meant to be Buckaroo Banzai Vs The World Crime League

[@Sir_Alex]

A beautiful comedy, with exceptional actors who perfectly play wonderfully written characters. A gem.

[@maplenutsreact]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@Billinois78]

Something I noticed after a couple of viewings was that The Dude hardly speaks to Donnie at all. Their only exchange was: "Where 'r ya goin', Dude?" "I'm going home, Donnie" "...Phone's ringin', Dude" "Thank you, Donnie" The Stranger (the narrator) was played by Sam Elliott. He's done a lot of movies. Lots of westerns, but other stuff too. If you haven't seen Tombstone, that's a great one. A bit of useless trivia: The very last person we see bowling before the end credits was the owner of the bowling alley. If I may suggest another cult classic - and it came out the same year as Lebowski - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. It's another very unique comedy.

[@thirtyyearoldmulberryfield]

I think the majority of Terry Gilliam’s directorial work would count as cult classics, they usually bomb at the box office but end up with quite a reputation later on.

[@davidfantle6721]

I can watch this movie over and over, and I rarely do that with any others. So many quotable lines, and memorable characters. It didn't get the credit it deserved when it came out, but found a huge fan base later on.

The story is the Coen Bros. were smoking pot and watching The Big Sleep starring Humphrey Bogart and wondered how the movie would go if Bogart was a pothead. I recommend The Big Sleep.

[@schroedingers_kotze]

I recommend reading Raymond Chandler's novel as well, the plot is even more twisted.

[@Minion_of_Cthulhu]

This was easily one of the best reactions I've seen to this movie! You guys were great and really seemed to like the movie. Most people are a bit confused by it and many people are only lukewarm to it after the first watch, but you guys got it immediately. It's actually even better each time you watch it, so don't be afraid to put it on whenever the mood hits you. Also, make sure you wach the Coen Brothers' other films. Any of them, really. They're all great and they're in all kinds of genres from straight thrillers to comedies to comedy-thrillers and everything in between. One of their many strengths is dialogue, as you probably noticed in The Big Lebowski. Fargo, in particular, is really good with quirky characters and dialogue set against a more serious crime thriller plot. Definitely check that one out if you haven't seen it yet.

[@hanng1242]

You want "off-beat, cult classics?" Here are some suggestions: 1. The FP (2011) - Street gang warfare...via DDR. 2. Freeway (1996) - Stars Reece Witherspoon and Kiefer Sutherland; exploitation Red Rinding Hood. 3. Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) - Stars Rutger Hauer; about a hobo with a shotgun. 4. Big Trouble in Little China (1986) - I cannot believe this isn't on your channel yet. Please tell me it is because you both have already seen it.

You two done opened Pandora's box here. 😄 Cool, offbeat & unique cult classics, of the top of my head: Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), Memento (2000), Caveman (1981), Tromeo and Juliet (1996; it's a crude low-budget film which fully earns its R rating, but it was also co-written by a young James Gunn), This is Spinal Tap (1984), Three Amigos (1986), Go (1999), Run Lola Run (1998), Demolition Man 1993), Children of Men (2006), Office Space (1999), and one of my all time favorites, Boogie Nights (1997). Plus of course Kevin Smith's "View Askewniverse" films, starting with Clerks (1994).

[@maplenutsreact]

Oh wow, so many! Thank you!!

[@StormhavenGaming]

This is one of my all time favourite films. Incredible performances by absolutely everyone (although Philip Seymour Hoffman's protrayal of Brandt deserves special mention), tonally perfect dialogue, unbeatable soundtrack, and a tightly written story. And a great reaction from the pair of you. As for other cult classics to watch, here's a short sample: Big Trouble in Little China - A John Carpenter film starring Kurt Russell (but he isn't really the main character). The Lost Boys - Brat Pack Vampire movie. Blade Runner - Go for the Final Cut if you can. It's arguably the best version (there are many versions!) Classic Cyberpuink/sci fi. The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Rock musical comedy starring Tim Curry - Somewhat more "adult" themes and aesthetic. Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Life of Brian - Monty Python weirdness. Labyrinth - Jim Henson dark fantasy with Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie. The Breakfast Club - 80s John Hughes teen movie. Flash Gordon - 80s sci fi cheese with a soundtrack by Queen. The Terminator/Terminator 2 - Arnie's iconic role.

This movie is definitely about the journey, not the destination. It makes a big grand circle back to where it started with nothing having really happened except we got to meet and know these characters and enjoy being in their idiosyncratic presence. I had no idea what to make of this film at first. It's one of the few movies that gets more funny with each viewing and is eminently quotable. Phone's ringin', dude.

'Montey Python and The Serch For The Holy Grail' is a great classic.

[@WUStLBear82]

Genuinely a cult classic: _Harold and Maude_ (1971). At the time a critical and commercial failure, a dark comedy about an aimless and depressed young man who finds an elderly woman his kindred spirit; it took off with college students later in the '70s, finally made a profit in 1982, and is now revered. A more recent film I'm trying to do my part to turn into a cult classic by telling everyone I can about it: _The Opposite of Sex_ (1998). A dark comedy about a caustic, wisecracking teenage girl who runs away from home to look up an adult half-brother she's never met, and ends up turning his comfortable life into Hell.

There's a movie called, SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISHER. It's a movie that not a lot of people know about. Not because it's not a really great movie. But the year it came out back in 1993 . That same year many other Blockbuster movies also came out and although a great movie itself. It was lost in the wake of Jurassic Park, Ms. Doubtfire, The Firm, The Fugitive and many other now well known movies. But this movie starring Lawrence Fishburn, Ben Kingsley , and newcomer Max Pomeranc. Although new to acting this young actor put forth a portrayal so believable and heartwarming. Your definitely going to want to see more of him. Unfortunately he's only done one other movie years ago and hasn't acted since. It's a true story that will pull at your heartstrings and make you smile.

"Walk Hard" is one of the two or three best comedies of all-time, a top-10 best movie of all-time... I'm starting to learn that maybe it's a cult classic? I'd always been under the impression people knew it was one of the greatest movies of all-time, but I've been staggered recently by how many people seem to have not only not seen it, but haven't heard of it.

[@SchulzEricT]

"Lucky Number Slevin" and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" are two great movies that might be cult or at least cult classic-adjacent. Both very well-written noir, very sharp and clever writing/dialogue, both with STACKED casts... both are funny too, although Slevin is maybe a bit more clever/funny while KKBB is outright laugh-out-loud funny... I think I like Slevin a bit better but KKBB may be the safer pick, a bit more broadly appealing than Slevin because of the humor, although I think both are really good, entertaining, fun, interesting movies... (both top-10 in my book; honestly, my top tier of movies is probably only about 8 and both of those movies - plus "Walk Hard", and "The Big Lebowski", and "The Princess Bride", plus "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" - definitely make that list) It's crazy to me that KKBB isn't just an outright popular movie; it's supposedly the movie that clinched RDJ as Iron Man, how have more people not gone back to discover it considering the MCU's popularity? Also, "Men Who Stare At Goats". Not a Coen bros movie but it really feels like one (but a bit better, IMO? Not a big Coen bros fan - they're talented, they make "good" movies, but outside of Lebowski, they don't quite hit my sweet spot, is all.) A really interesting movie, and kind of stealth feel-good despite it being a bit depressing too... Jeff Bridges essentially reprises his role as The Dude, Clooney doing his Coen bros-esque thing, the main character is played by an incredibly well-cast Ewan McGregor...

[@alvarhanso6310]

To your point about the comfortability of The Dude's attire: it's largely Jeff Bridges's own clothes.

[@Dylan_Platt]

Excellent reaction as always. This movie is wild as hell, but really exemplifies the Coens' approach to comedy. Not everybody is on the right wavelength to appreciate it, but I'm so glad y'all did. Ahh, cult and/or offbeat movies!! As you can probably tell, we're all SO glad you asked :D First things first, you already saw Evil Dead, so you've GOTTA watch Evil Dead 2, the absolute king of cult/horror/comedy/WTF movies. Save it for spooky season if you must, algo gods must be appeased and all that, but PLZ watch it as soon as you can. Probably my very favorite movie of all time. Others here have talked about several great ones already -- I heartily second the recommendations for Fargo, Better Off Dead, Buckaroo Banzai, Clerks and the other View Askewniverse movies, Bubba Ho-Tep, and Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. One that I haven't seen anybody else mention: Turbo Kid. Great movie. Definitely better if you don't know what to expect.

Julianne Moore was Maude is my favorite character of the film, love her accent. The Coen brothers have made a lot of interesting films and John Goodman is in a few. "Raising Arizona" and "The Hudsucker Proxy" are my favorites. Other cult classics worth checking out: "Repo Man" starring Emilio Estevez, "The House of Yes" starring Parker Posey, "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" starring Peter Weller, "The Fisher King" with Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams, directed by Terry Gilliam (he's made lots of great films "Brazil", "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen", "The 12 Monkeys", "Time Bandits"), "Secretary", "Donnie Darko" and if you like classic rock soundtracks "The Big Chill" with an ensemble cast.

[@treadstone1138]

It may have already been said but notice: the Dude never bowls, Donnie always throws strikes until the end and right after that if you watch, you see him squeezing and flexing his fist so he is experiencing symptoms of an impending heart attack. The Dude is wearing a black armband and remembrance of Donnie at the very end, The little nihilist that took a bowling ball to the gut is actually Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, And I'm pretty sure that the girl that got her toe clipped is from the band Till Tuesday. And of course, the narrator/strangers Sam Elliott who's insanely distinctive voice has been in a whole bunch of films. Great reaction, you guys!

Do Ghost World (2001)! With Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson and Steve Buscemi. One of my favorites.

If one more person tells me, “You look and sometimes sound like Walter Sobchak,” I may have to finally assemble a Halloween costume.

The Burbs is a true cult classic in that it got roasted when it came out and has a great following now. One of the most quotable movies of the 80s. Bill Hader talks about it as one of his favorite childhood movies

Not a Pomeranian! The "Narrator" was the actor Sam Elliot who had a pretty good run in the '80s/ early '90s.

A few of my fav Cult Classics that are beautiful but quirky films (a few difficult scenes but overall VERY heartwarming movies): The Fisher King (Robin William) Buffalo '66 (Christina Ricci) Lars and the Real Girl (Ryan Gosling) You never see these reacted too but WOW these are special movies. Please cover at least one, and you'll want to see all three.

A plot keeps trying to form around The Dude, but he's so nonchalant that it just fails to coalesce.

one of my all time favorite movies 😅. great reaction

[@ThePwig]

This movie is perfect in every single way. Endlessly rewatchable

Trivia: Smokey was played by Jimmie Dale Gilmore, a country musician from Texas. One of my favorite cult classics is Repo Man from 1984, starting Emilio Estevez. It's a weird one, though not quite as weird as Lebowski.
